Tried AirVPN as it was 93p for 3 days and that didn't work either, still knows I am using a VPN. I have tried going through Google/Facebook still same issue. Tried multiple US servers.

It's getting a bit frustrating but I guess I have to keep on trying. I wonder if it knows through my browser somehow, I have tried both IE and Firefox too and also my phone.

Are you sure setup VPN ok? I setup my MA account using AirVPN just before christmas. No issues at all.

I think so, I mean I went on to checkmyip and it displayed a US IP address unless I need to do something else? Do you remember what server you used?

So I’ve tried the following; changed local date/time to reflect the server I am connecting to, turned off geolocation and tried again and it still knows I am using a vpn. Can only assume they have a list of the IP addresses linked to the vpn servers somehow. Is anyone about to make an account for me if I give my email address via trust message to see if it works for them? I’m over from work for a few days now so want to get this sorted, thanks.

Thanks again, also got the free films on my account which you receive when you sign up (Bourne etc) and they have now transferred to my iTunes. Sweet!

Have updated the OP with some more info about Using a VPN.

Managed to get it all setup through Tunnel Bear, with the exception of MA. Clov!s was kind enough to setup my account for me, so thanks mate.

Going to try getting a movie shortly but all seems good so far.

No problem.

Had a nice surprise earlier when I noticed Thor: Ragnarok had been added to my MA account, not available yet though.

Clov, what VPN did you use to set up simo's MA account? I know someone having trouble signing up.

How was Thor added? Free or did you preorder it?

I use NordVPN now but had no issues with StrongVPN and TunnelBear. If you want me to setup an account for your friend, send me a trust message with the email he wants to use and i'll set it up, i pay for the full NordVPN package so don't mind using it.

I have Pre-ordered through VUDU, it is actually watchable now on iTunes because of a glitch Apple have mistakenly done, I assume in the next few hours it'll be taken off and put back on Pre-order.

Haha yeah I seen people mention they were able to view it on iTunes. Did you preorder it because of this? Just curious haha, seems $20-25 seems a tad high when you can wait a few weeks and get it for half that or less.

I had VUDU points to use so it actually cost me $14 to preorder the UHD copy.

I Pre-ordered it a few weeks ago and completely missed the posts about it playing early until last night!

Oh nice! Vudu points, you rascal. I havent got to that stage of ordering points yet.

Here's a question that you might know. If you get a 4k movie that's not available in 4k yet. When it does become available, does it get upgraded? Goes for iTunes, or vudu.

It all depends on how the film was redeemed.

Let's say you redeemed Thor: Ragnarok through iTunes direct, if it was only showing in HD for the first few weeks and then moved to UHD, you would get the upgrade.

If you had redeemed that code through VUDU or Moviesanywhere, it would stay HD in iTunes even if a UHD version became available.

VUDU is different, you only get UHD in VUDU if you redeem an UHD digital code through VUDU or MA or you buy it through VUDU or another digital website like FandangoNow.

Apple upgrading their movies to UHD has no effect on movies on VUDU.

Clovis could you set up myy movies anywhere account?

And secondly if I want to log in on Vudu on my apple tv do I need a vpn?

Yeah no problem.

send me a trust message with the email you want to use for the account and I’ll set it up now.

No VPN but you do need to alter your DNS settings as it won’t allow you to sign in otherwise.

Just curious why you want to log into VUDU? Have you got films on there that aren’t able to port using MA?

Well I linked my uv which has 4K uk redemptions on it to vudu and it’s one of the only places with 4K versions of them. What dns settings would I use?
